sun exposure.<br />

A pterygium has the potential to spread<br />

onto the cornea <strong>and</strong> negatively impact vision<br />

while a pinguecula does not.<br />

Wearing proper UV protection is the best<br />

preventative treatment for development of<br />

these topical growths.<br />

If the pterygium affects vision surgical<br />

removal may be considered. If either growth<br />

causes irritation a topical lubricant is often<br />

prescribed.<br />

5. Macular degeneration<br />

The impact of ultraviolet radiation on the<br />

development of macular degeneration is not<br />

fully understood.<br />

Macular degeneration involves the<br />

disruption of the macula, the central area<br />

of the retina, which is responsible for clear<br />

vision. Some studies suspect that age-related<br />

macular degeneration can be exacerbated by<br />

sun exposure.<br />

Comprehensive eye examinations<br />

<strong>and</strong> protective sunwear can prevent the<br />

progression of this condition.<br />

Is it possible to reverse sun damage?<br />

Nearly all of these sun-related eye<br />

conditions can be treated in some way,<br />

alleviating the side effects if not reversing<br />

the process altogether.<br />

It’s best to protect yourself from the<br />

sun <strong>and</strong> prevent the damage before it<br />

can start. The best way you can do that is<br />

to wear sunscreen with water-resistant,<br />

broad-spectrum coverage <strong>and</strong> an SPF of<br />

30 or higher, UV-blocking sunglasses <strong>and</strong><br />

a wide-brimmed hat each time you go<br />

outside.<br />
